A raw and
unflinching look at the objectification and misogyny of the Playboy mansion, a
woman’s stolen young adulthood and her journey to self-acceptance, and a rare
look inside Hugh Hefner’s final days.
At just
twenty-one years old, Crystal Harris’ life changed forever when she attended a
party at the notorious Playboy mansion. Picked out of the crowd by Hugh Hefner,
she became one of his infamous “girlfriends,” attending glamorous Hollywood
parties and traveling the world. Yet this seemingly alluring lifestyle had a
dark side. Hef controlled his girlfriends with strict rules regarding
everything from their hair and makeup to their curfews, and Crystal was forced
to compete with other women for her spot in the highly hierarchal system.
Living at the mansion, she felt more like a fixture than a resident.
She quickly
rose to the top, but being Hef’s number one girlfriend came at the cost of
Crystal’s identity outside her role in the Playboy universe. Her fate seemed
sealed when Hef surprised her with a marriage proposal she could not imagine
refusing. But as Crystal Hefner, she grew increasingly restless to understand
who she truly was away from what she saw as Playboy’s toxic culture.
In ONLY SAY
GOOD THINGS, Crystal offers a vulnerable and clear-eyed look at how her
experience with Hugh Hefner catalyzed her transformative journey from someone
who prized external validation over all else to a person who finally recognizes
her true worth. This candid memoir provides a fascinating look behind the
scenes at a powerful cultural icon and brand, and an equally empowering
perspective on hard-won lessons about who we allow to determine our value.
